Clutch Cable Replacement Question

[rchandramouli]

I'm replacing my clutch cable in my '80 SC and destroyed the connections to the pedal lever. Parts I'm ordering listed... Am I missing anything?

Clevis Fork for Clutch Cable (at Pedal Assembly)
Clevis Pin for Clutch Cable (at Pedal Assembly)
Clutch Clevis Bushing (at Pedal Assembly).

Also, how does it connect to the pedal lever? Do I need something to crimp it on?

Any help would be appreciated.

As this is my first post, obligatory pic of the car

The clevis screws on to the end of the cable. Slide the clevis over the pedal hole, insert the pin, and then the back of the pin clips over the cable to hold it in place.

Awesome. So I should only need those 3 parts?

Also, the bentley shows the clevis pin over the cable(locking from the top), but the 101 shows the clevis locking from the bottom. Is over the cable correct?

Thanks for the quick reply!

*edit*
The clevis pin locked from the bottom when I removed/destroyed it.

I just did this (replaced cable not destroyed the end)
You have to close the clevis from the top it just snaps on and it took me a couple of goes to get the number of turns of the clevis onto the cable just right so that the cable was the right length to be within the right adjustment range.
It is an awkward one handed job as there is very little room to work in there at least on a right hand drive car anyway.

Ggod luck.

Thanks Bill and mreid!

I put a little anti seize on the pin as well to make it easy on the next cable change!

I'd replace the omega spring while in there. It seemed to help smooth things out but YMMV.

Also check to see if you still have the rubber pedal stop in place - if not you'll need new one for when you adjust the clutch pedal throw.
